Only relatively recently have I heard of this gift giving technique where in a circle of friends, all of the friends collaborate and buy one friend a big gift, as opposed to doing this lengthy matrix of individual gift giving of small gifts. What results is a true group bond with major gift exchange-age...
Four friends, four gifts. Simple. But the whole coordination thing is key, because for each gift, the receiver must be kept out of the loop. Isn't that weird, though, how if kept constant, each person will be expecting a gift?
Works for me. I love gifts. Especially blank paper. Ugh, man, we went to Pearl today and I wanted to die... So much paper. Sketch books, black paper, construction paper, unlined paper, tracing paper, recycled paper, bound paper, loose paper... It was all there. So delicious...
So today's lesson. If you ever want to get Mark a great gift, blank paper will do just fine. Why? Blank paper, to me, represents a world of possibilities. Paper is meant to be written on, meant to be used to express oneself. Diesel.
